'Next month, Russia—and by extension, Vladimir Putin—will assume the Presidency of the U.N. Security Council,' write Jeffrey Sonnenfeld and Sergiy Kyslytsya. 'Putin should not be allowed to make a mockery of international diplomacy'
Sonnenfeld is the Senior Associate Dean and Lester Crown Professor in Management Practice at Yale School of Management, and President of the Yale Chief Executive Leadership Institute; Amb. Sergiy Kyslytsya is the Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the United Nations, a position he has held since 2020 when he was appointed by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, after serving as Ukraine’s Deputy Foreign Minister from 2014-2020.
It may read like one, but this is no April Fool’s prank—next month, Russia—and by extension, Vladimir Putin—Known burglars are not given banks to run, nor are convicted sex offenders given charge of daycare centers. In the same vein, Putin should not be allowed to make a mockery of international diplomacy by becoming the face of global peace as he escalates his unjust invasion of Ukraine with new attacks daily.
The potential damage of a gavel-wielding Putin is hard to overstate. Even beyond its symbolic value; the Presidency of the U.N. Security Council carrieswithin the U.N., chairing all discussions, applying the rules, controlling the docket, schedule, and credentialing for all debates, and managing all draft resolutions. And Russia has proven adept in the past at abusing the vast procedural power of the Security Council Presidency.
In fact, the last time Russia held the rotating Security Council Presidency was, not coincidentally, February 2022. Back then, Russia sought to exploit the Security Council to confuse and mislead the world of its real intentions, and Russia’s devious machinations were aimed at impeding international support for Ukraine both leading up to and immediately following the start of the invasion on February 24.
The U.N. is an imperfect institution and it would have been challenging for the U.N. to effectively respond to the early warning signs of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine of due to periodic bureaucratic paralysis. However, Russia’s holding of the Security Council Presidency seriously exacerbated these challenges and rendered the U.N. largely impotent when the world most needed it, and even as the international community rallied around Ukraine.
